I live in Thailand and have always thought it would be interesting to travel by local freighter from BKK to Singapore. Has anyone ever done this, or know of any cargo lines that will take a passenger? I don't expect luxury at all and am willing to rough it for the experience.

I have often thought of trvelling on a Freighter. Must be watching too much Michael Palin
